Bankroll for B&M?

...is there a larger game at Commerce that is just as soft(or comparable to .25/.50 on PS, which is the level I'm playing now) with a more easily beatable rake? 3/6 perhaps?

I can not speak for that room, but... IME the 3/6, 4/8, 6/12 and 10/20 all pretty much play the same. The only difference is the number of fools that will chase your AA to the river with crap and hit it. In 3/6 you will have 6-9 to the river even in a capped full kill pot, 4/8 4-8 to the river, 6/12 3-6 to the river, and 10/20 2-5 to the river.

If I was only playing 4/8 or 6/12 I would want between 3-8 buyins (my buyin is two racks of the color played, so for the white chip 4/8 I am buying $200 and for the yellow/blue chip 6/12 I am buying in for $400).

Don't play 2/4. You won't be able to beat the rake.

Unless we're talking about a $2/4 game much tighter than Foxwoods, or one that's raked for at least $6/hand, I disagree. You may not be able to beat it for the same amount as you'd beat $3/6 or $4/8, but you will beat the rake long term. A $4 max rake is just two extra loose preflop callers, or one more person who'll call you on the river out of curiosity. So take out the rake and instead of 6 or 7 to the flop it's 5 average; you should still beat a game with 5 seeing the flop long-term.

True story, sat next to a guy at 1-3 spread limit game at Excaliber a few weekends ago - he had really bad breath, rotten teeth, B-O, fat, used bad grammar, and claimed to be pro. That you?
